    The Enterprise gets caught in a temporal anomaly causing the crew to experience (at first seemingly unrelated) events out of order. Their own attempts to escape from this anomaly are also part of this tapestry. It turns out all of these events influenced one another and in order it's up to the crew to reconstruct the proper order of events, because only then will they understand how they exactly relate to one another and how they can escape.

    TV show "Game of Thrones" did not exist as of the late 80s/early 90s. The title must be derived from something that existed then.

    I'll still give it a shot.

    "The Rains of Castamere" - While in orbit of Halkan Prime, the crew of the Enterprise observes odd behaviors coming from Troi - interest in being chief of security, aggressively abusive towards Barclay, constantly calling Data “Lore”, wanting Geordi to have a darker temperament and discipline his subordinates more harshly, her perplexion that Beverly Crusher is still alive, wanting Worf to be placed in an agony booth, making advances towards Picard, calling Riker the Emperor and wanting him to show his ruthlessness and wipe out the Halkans. When the crew figures out that this Troi comes from a universe a small number of Kirk’s crew encountered a hundred years prior, a universe they consider medieval, the Enterprise has to figure out how she switched places with their Troi and how to get their Troi back.

    "Swan Song" - A mysterious subspace signal in causing all starships in particular sector to suffer computer crashes.

    "Variable Conditions" - The Enterprise encounters cadets-turned-Maquis that perform the banned Kolvoord Starburst maneuver safely right in front of them. When the crew inquires about this, they found out they were a couple of years behind Wesley and had plenty of time to correct Wesley’s teams’ error. And that they performed this many times when Starfleet Academy wasn’t watching, just like Wesley had. The crew is then divided on if Wesley was unfairly punished and on how he too could have got off scot-free had events played out differently.

Meanwhile, Beverly reunites with a man she dated several times, but it never seemed to work out. (Not Picard)

Meanwhile, Geordi and Troi bring to the attention of Picard and Riker of a Betazoid trade clause dating back to the 22nd century surrounding engineering equipment that is being exploited by the colonists on the surface, making trade negotiations unusually difficult.

    "Cavities" - The Enterprise visits a world wear having cavities in your teeth is a badge of honor and unfortunately, 24th century Federation dentistry means no one on the ship has cavities and therefore can't be trusted by the locals. Except Barclay, who apparently never bothers with oral hygiene or something. It is now up to Barclay to represent the entire Federation in a first contact scenario where the rewards mean a new ally and access to dilithium reserves the planet has, while failure means the planet shuns the Federation. Complicating the matter, the Ferengi drop by seeking the dilithium themselves, and their ambassador does indeed have cavities.
